When is a secret not a secret? When your whole life is public. Frankie is used to being a politician’s daughter, but with her mom now running for Premier, life’s a whole lot crazier than usual. All Frankie wants is to lose herself in her music. So when her best friend, Kessie, invites a student journalist to interview the band, Frankie is less than thrilled. But Jake's easy to talk to, and he seems to really like Frankie. That doesn't stop her from wondering if he's just after the ultimate scoop, especially when photos surface of Frankie's mom having a secret rendezvous with a younger man. With her family falling apart around her, Frankie is determined to find out the truth—even if it means losing Jake.

I’m dead. You killed me. But you still need to read this, Rayne. 
I lived my life as a vicious monster. A weapon. A villain. Now you face the same dilemma. 
Maybe the story of my life will answer a few of your questions. For example, how does one become a monster? Was it the abusive father? The subdued mother? Or could the tyrannical aliens with their boot on Cinder’s neck have contributed to my misery and impressive kill count? 
Consider my position, General. The survival of my race hung in the balance. The well-being of my brother and my best friend. What would you do differently? How will you prevent yourself from becoming like me? 
Because, I truly hope you do. For the sake of Cinder and the Vast Collective, learn from my mistakes. Don’t become like me.
